Hi all
complete n00b here
I am trying to construct a way of indexing a folder of word and rtf documents to construct a clickable HTML file to go in the folder (this folder is then going to sit on our schools intranet- the documents are student summaries etc)
I have constructed an automator workflow to;
- index the folder
- output a txt file
- convert this txt file to a html file
Next steps are to
- strip out the file pathways in the html file
eg
/Users/tristanforsyth/Desktop/test folder/Factsheet.doc to Factsheet.doc
and
2)
Convert Factsheet.doc (on html file) to a clickable link so that when its clicked on, they can download Factsheet.doc to the desktop
I need help with the stripping out and the final conversion and Im hoping that someone can help me out
Ultimately, this will hopefully become an application (that will also upload via FTP-worked that bit out so its just the bit in the middle!) that can be shared amongst the mac using staff so it also needs to be user and machine independent (eventually…I gotta get it working first!)
I have searched the forums and the suggested methods are for scripts (which I think I am running correctly) but they throw up error messages (the original posts are a few years old so I dont know if coding has changed over the years or not_I really dont want to bump a series of threads that are 2-3 years old!!
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated as this is really frustrating me (I was quite proud that I worked out the first bit but the second bit is killing me!)
I hope this makes sense!
